Topic : Difference between Research paper, Review paper, Survey paper & Case Study

Description : This session focuses on the difference between Research Paper, Review Paper, Survey paper & Case Study.

A research paper is based on original research. The kind of research may vary depending on your field or the topic (experiments, survey, interview, questionnaire, etc.), but authors need to collect and analyze raw data and conduct an original study. The research paper will be based on the analysis and interpretation of this data.

A review article or review paper is based on other published articles. It does not report original research. Review articles generally summarize the existing literature on a topic in an attempt to explain the current state of understanding on the topic. Review articles can be of three kinds:

A narrative review explains the existing knowledge on a topic based on all the published research available on the topic.

A systematic review searches for the answer to a particular question in the existing scientific literature on a topic.

A meta-analysis compares and combines the findings of previously published studies, usually to assess the effectiveness of an intervention or mode of treatment.

Review papers form valuable scientific literature as they summarize the findings of existing literature. So readers can form an idea about the existing knowledge on a topic without having to read all the published works in the field. If published in a good peer-reviewed journal, review articles often have a high impact and receive a lot of citations.

Description : This session focuses on how to write a successful abstract and the tips to get the abstract accepted.

Preparation, submission, and presentation of an abstract are important facets of the research process, which benefit the investigator/author in several ways. Writing an abstract consists primarily of answering the questions, “Why did you start?” “What did you do?” “What did you find?” and “What does it mean?” A few practical steps in preparing to write the abstract can facilitate the process. This session focus on those steps and offers suggestions for writing each of an abstract’s components (title, author list, introduction, methods, results, and conclusions); considers the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating a table or figure into the abstract; offers several general writing tips; and provides annotated examples of well-prepared abstracts: one from an original study, one from a method/device evaluation, and one from a case report.

Topic : From draft to article: The process of publishing in an academic journal

Description : This session focuses on writing a research article and the process of publishing in an academic journal.

Publishing a scientific paper involves interactions among authors, editors, reviewers, copy and technical editors, and the publisher, with the goal to publish the best-quality research as timely as possible. This session describes the publishing process, starting with how to submit a manuscript to a journal, what editors and reviewers do, how manuscripts navigate the peer-review process, and how an accepted manuscript undergoes layout and printing, finally becoming part of the scientific literature.Peer review is a central concept for most academic publishing; other scholars in a field must find a work sufficiently high in quality for it to merit publication. A secondary benefit of the process is an indirect guard against plagiarism since reviewers are usually familiar with the sources consulted by the author(s).

Participants can learn much more about publishing the article in this session.
